All printer test pages
Each test page here prints straight from your browser through your normal printer driver, so there is nothing to install. Pick the sheet that matches the problem you see. Faded or wrong colors: start with the color page. Gray instead of black, or fuzzy text: use the black and white page. Gaps in fine lines on an inkjet: run the nozzle check. Crooked output or cut-off edges: print the alignment page. To check one ink or one paper size, use the focused pages below.

Frequently asked questions
Which printer test page should I print first?
Start with the color test page if your printer uses color ink or toner. It covers all four inks, gray steps and text on one sheet. If the result shows a problem, move to the page for that problem: the nozzle check for gaps in lines, alignment for crooked output, or black and white for gray or fuzzy text.
Do I need to install a driver or app to use these test pages?
No extra software is needed beyond the printer driver your computer already uses. The test pages are ordinary web pages: open one, press Ctrl+P on Windows or Cmd+P on a Mac, pick your printer and print. They work in any current browser on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux.
Do the test pages use a lot of ink?
A full color test page puts down more ink than a page of text because of its solid color bars. If you only need to check one thing, print the focused page for it. The nozzle check is mostly thin lines, and a paper size page is mostly white, so both use far less ink.
